Volkswagen Group of America - Business and Product Update including Preview of the All-New Jetta Hinrich J. Woebcken, President & CEO Volkswagen North American Region Dr. Matthias Erb, Chief Engineering Officer North American Region, Head of Product Strategy December 12, 2017, New York City
DISCLAIMER The following presentations contain forward-looking statements and information on the business development of the Volkswagen Group of America. These statements may be spoken or written and can be recognized by terms such as “expects”, “anticipates”, “intends”, “plans”, “believes”, “seeks”, “estimates”, “will” or words with similar meaning. These statements are based on assumptions relating to the development of the economies of individual countries, and in particular of the automotive industry, which we have made on the basis of the information available to us and which we consider to be realistic at the time of going to press. The estimates given involve a degree of risk, and the actual developments may differ from those forecast. Volkswagen AG and its subsidiaries (together the "Volkswagen Group") currently face additional risks and uncertainty related to pending claims and investigations of Volkswagen Group members in a number of jurisdictions in connection with findings of irregularities relating to exhaust emissions from diesel engines in certain Volkswagen Group vehicles. The degree to which Volkswagen Group of America may be negatively affected by these ongoing claims and investigations remains uncertain. Consequently, a negative impact relating to ongoing claims or investigations, an unexpected fall in demand or economic stagnation in our key sales markets, such as the USA will have a corresponding impact on the development of our business. The same applies in the event of a significant shift in current exchange rates relative to the Euro, US dollar, sterling, yen or other currencies. If any of these or other risks occur, or if the assumptions underlying any of these statements prove incorrect, the actual results may significantly differ from those expressed or implied by such statements. We do not update forward-looking statements retrospectively. Such statements are valid on the date of publication and can be superseded. This information does not constitute an offer to exchange or sell or an offer to exchange or buy any securities.
